Girdles and Girls.

Ever since Eve first put on corsets
there have been fippant illusions
made to supposed fondness
that young ladies cherish OF having
their waists squeezed. No visible
weakness has ever been offered to the
publics gaze until recently. But i:'s
here now, and the girls can't dodge it,
The silver girdle business has become
fashionable. aud young men who are
addicted to the arm act are as blue as
policemen. It's hard enough to make
an impression through corset armor,
but when silver log chain is added
mashitive humanity gives up and takes
to lamp-posts.
The new girdle is just such an ar
| used to wear (B. CO. to keep. their
Mother Hubbards from soaring over
their heads and leaving them in the
highly ridiculous and embarrassing
| position of reversed umbrella. 1t is
| made of silver links or plates, and is
worn outside of everything, for the
simple reasons that it would be a very
| uncomfortabl thing to wear inside and
would seriously interfere with the fit
of dress. Again, more people see
i
| worn for. As an article of clothing the
girdle is not a practical success. 1t
affords very little protection i'll a rain
storm or a blizzard, and is calculated
| to breed corns on the hip.
| Naturally, it is worn around the
| waist, because it's too big for the neck,
| and a girl couldn't grab her skirts with
one hand and her back hair with the
| klo, oh
| A smelling-bottle, a box of caramels,
a powder puff, or, in fact, almost any
thing can be hitched to the front end
of the girdle as an excuse for wearing
it. 1t is a convenient place to carry
surplus hairpins..
/ Within the last week or two Fiftf
avenue and Madison avenue girls have
bloomed out with, girdles. They are
! an expensive shackle. But with al
their drawbacks they have many ad-
vantages. When girl is drowning ;
| girdle is a much surer thing tt
| lift her out with than hair Hail
| is liable to come off. In walking
through a crowd the escort could takt
a hitch of the chain around his wris
| and be dead sure of his prey. Ther
they are convenient things to attacl
dogs to, and in case of defense cal
be used as slung shot. When travel
ing and living in strange hotels !
girl will find the girdle an infinit source
of protection by using it to attach tn
door-knob to the bedpost.
When the wearer disrobes she hang
the shackles over a chairback, as sh,
does her stockings. They won't stan'
up in the corner because they are to-
weak-kneed.
The girls have got the girdle yer,
badly. 1t is liable to injure the matri
monial market some.
But, after all, girdled girl is tn
delicacy of the season.-Ne10 Yor

The retail grocers of the East are
adopting a new way Of keeping ac-
counts with customers. A small book
OF coupons, ranging from one cent to
one dollar, is furnished to the custom
err and is charged to him. When he
orders goods he tears out coupons to
the value Of the order in the presence
Of the grocer or his clerk, and de-
stroys them. When Is or SIC
book OF coupons is reduced to the
covers, 1t is good evidence that goods
to the value it represented have been
purchased. 1t amounts to the same
thing as paying spot cash for every
order, but the customers have the
privilege of paying for the coupon
book when it is used up. There are
quite a good many advantages to be
mentioned IN favor of the system,
and it will probably supercede in a
great part the old style of book &C.

BREAK1NG JAIL.-During last night
Mt what hour is unknown, the man
Frank Armstrong, held on the charge
of murder of Paul Hubert, and the
Glenn's Ferry tram wrecker effected
their escape from our county jail.
The manner in which it was done is
at present uncertain and unknown.
The opinions of those who examined
the Jail for clue to the escape are
various and uncertain. The theory
most generally accepted and express
ed is that the fugitives had assistance
from the outside, and that by the
means of file the iron bar window
was sawed nearly in two and after
wards broken with battering ram
so they could crawl through the win
dow. How the prisoners got out OF
their cells is not known; it is certain
that the doors were unlocked. Sheriff
Kinney has frequently condemned the
locks and the Jail generally as being
unsafe; he has done his utmost to
have its defects remedied. At this
time he has a large posse of men
securing the hills as well as the passes
so that it will be almost impossible
for the culprits to escape. 1t IS al
most certain that they have not at
tempted to cross the river as they
have not been seen by the watchmen
who are at present stationed at the
bridges and the stream is too high to
cross otherwise. Messrs Jackson u
Miles, who have corral at the upper
end OF Main street, say that two OF
their horses are missing this morning.
Under these circumstances it will be
difficult for the fugitives to escape, If
every good citizen will aid the officers
OF the law, SO that these Jail birds be
brought to JUSTICE HALEY Inter-

Several supposed Hong Dis have
been arrested and at least one killed
in California. The genuine one has
been arrested and lodged in the
Oroyills Jail. A sewing machine
agent named Shubert was the lucky
csptor, and is therefore entitled to
the reward of $500, which had been
offered for his arrest. Hong Di con-
fesses that he killed Mrs. Billou
though unintentionally, as Weaver
was the person he aimed to shoot.
The Sacramento Bee says there are
some startling rumors afoat relative
to the crime. The Chinaman asserts
that Weaver and Mrs. Billion were in
innate, and that he heard Weaver say
no would put Hong Di, who knew of
their intimacy, where he would not
squawk. Weaver has disappeared,
which gives coloring Of truth to the
Chinamans story, and public opinion
at oroviils is decidedly in favor OF
giving the Chinaman fair trial, and
the disappearance of Weaver at this
critical time invokes the most caust,c
comments,

a NOVEL MOTOR.
New York Star.

New YORK star.
After twenty years OF study and
experiments, Albert Pietrowski, a
machinist living in fremont, has sue
ceeded in inventing new motor,
which promises to revolutionize in
dustry by dispensing not only with
stationary engines and boilers, but al.
SO with the consumption of coal.
His motor is simple in plan and
construction. 1t runs without fuel,
occupies little room and may be built
at merely nominal cost compared
with the cost OF steam engine. 1t
has power enough to set in motion
any large Touring mill or factory.
Professor L. J. Boeck, formerly
Professor Of Engineering at the Uni
versity Of Virginia, describes the mo-
tor ia . report as follows: "The new
motor consists Of two hollow wheels,
each pair revolving on the same axis
but in opposite directions; each wheel
is provided with grooved compart-
ments, radiating from the center to
the circumference. To put each pair
of wheels in motion four iron balls OF
equal weight are put in the compart-
ments OF ono and FIVE into those Of
the other wheel. The ninth ball de-
stroying the equilibrium and perform
ing thus Its share Of the work on one
wheel, is switched of into an empty
compartment in the other and adds
its weight to continue tho revolution.
Each ball in turn performs the func-
ton Of the ninth ball, and the two
wheels are kept in motion until
checked by some arrangement.
1t is needless to say of how great
Importance the application Of this
new motor will be in the leading
branches Of our industry.
BY using wheels of FIVE feet in di-
ameter and balls OF about thirty
pounds in weight, 1000 to 1900 rev.
olutons per minute, or a force
amounting to four or FIVE horse pow
er, may be obtained. This force may
be increased to one hundred or more
horse power, either by increasing the
diameter Of the wheels and the weight
Of the balls, or by increasing in due
proportion the number OF wheels and
the number Of balls.
A wheel sixty feet high, thirty feet
above ground and thirty feet below
ground. would furnish the same pow
or as an engine Of 100-horse power.
Ten pairs Of wheels, each FIVE feet in
diameter, would furnish fifty horse
power and occupy small space. Fiji
ty pairs OF wheels could be united,
and would furnish 250-horse power,
which would move the largest mill in
the world. They would not occupy
any more space than large station
AIRY engine and its boilers.
The great value of the new motor
in industry is that it will cost nothing
for fuel to run it, will make no smoke
and will need no expensive engine
room. II may be put up out Of door.
or in shed. One man is required te
oil it. II runs at uniform speed, the
number Of revolutions per minute be.
ing always the same. 1t may be cas-.
lily stopped by applying a brake, and
it may be started at any time, nigh,
or day, At . seconds notice. There
is no building = fire, shoveling in Goa
aud getting up steam. You put your
hand on a lever. The motor starts.
